Photo of the same tree, from slightly different angles. This first shot shows the clumped fleshblobs like aphids on a houseplant! The branches circled in red are gone in the After shot photo, below.
Same tree from a different angle. The upper-most branches are gone, inexplicably. There were no storms or high wind between the times the 1st and 2nd Pics were taken. One will notice the total lack of orangish blobs on ALL of the trees! This photo was only taken a week after the ceremony.
Here is the same tombstone taken from a slightly different stance, but it is still facing the same direction. The sculpture is completely severed and laying on the ground in front of the base. These monuments are very heavy stone and it would take a couple blows from a sledge hammer for a person to knock the top off of this! Also, the longshot of the previous photo is 2 pages back and shows a comprehensive view of the treeline, in the distance. Overcast glare aside, it sure seems as though this After shot shows a much thinner bank of trees! Very strange, indeed. One would think a hurricane had hit this place!
